Filler chapter, but there is a important thing in!

….

I'm just a loser in the game of love,

I'm just a stray boy in the shade,

And how I wish to know what love is like,

To find someone to contemplate…

(Avantasia – Scarecrow)

The first day in new school was, so to say, a bigger success than she expected.

She came in first, but not long after her came another girl.

She was tall, all in dark green, dark, long, curly hair to be envied by top models all over her, slightly pointed ears and eyes so dark you couldn´t tell, what colors are they. She talked and talked, never stopping – Kate right then found out it was a fighter, going to 3 different types of fighting sports, and a nature person - although she could hack anyone´s computer, which she found out to be true after Henrietta got into her mobile using her own laptop.

She had a quiet, cheerful, even if a tad lazy voice, and good reflexes.

The third one that came waltzing in, looking confused by the whole world, could only be described by her name, which was Caroline. What a burst of familiar aura was that!

Purple-black-red hair sticking everywhere, tied with a shoe lace, all in black, pale as death, and wide-open pale blue eyes.

(Straight that day they found out she didn´t care about anyone´s opinion, she could burst out laughing with something that sounded like witch laughter in the middle of the class just because she thought of something funny – and then, of course, shared the thought. Or she lied down on the desk, completely at peace, not really noticing the teacher was there already.)

Her voice had a child-like melody all the time, even when she spoke seriously, and had a accent.

It wasn´t noticeable. It was a undertone layer, pipes up, down, as if used to breathing different air than what was there.

The fourth girl that came wasn´t found out immediately. She tapped in quietly, looking around carefully, adjusting the glasses on her nose to a more proper position, crossing qite unusually long and slim legs and only then eyeing the other ones.

,,Hi there!´´ Caroline called cheerfully.

,,Hello?"

This one's voice was quieter, but also held a accent. Like she didn't like the language she was speaking much, but went with it anyway to avoid confusion or other things. Then she

flopped the greenish blue tips of her hair behind the shoulder and sat on the place beside Kate, obviously that was supposed be hers.

Kate thought, humorously, that she resembled a deer.

,,Who'r you?"

,,Me?"

,,Well, no ghost is behind, so you."

,,Bianca. And you are…?"

,,Caroline! Pleased."

,,Kathrine," Kate raised out a hand, which she got no response for.

,,Excuse me, but I don't like shaking hands," Bianca said immediately after, looking a tad bit ashamed.

,,Yeap, me neither," Caroline snorted. ,,I hate when people want to do that. I don't like anyone solid, meh."

,,How about someone astral?" Kate said with a grin, looking in her direction. She quite expected that the girl would wave it away, but then, she didn't know yet that she was a master in not getting any sarcastic or joking tones.

,,Those? Well, I think they are okay… apart from the demons that try to possess me. I don't like them."

There was silence in the classroom for a while. Long while. Bianca lifted up head a bit, gazing into her direction. Kate explicitly stared.

,,Do you believe in ghosts, Caroline?" Henrietta brought up.

,,Do you believe in trees?" Caroline tossed back with a smirk. ,,Since I see them every day, yes. Some are really good friends."

Again silence.

,,So do you knowtheastralspherewell?"

Kate stumbled over her own words, asking.

,,I.. err, yes. I don't go in it, since I have always trouble, but I know a lot of people from there… heh, well, people… expeople. And demons sometimes come bother me."

One of the mentioned species, which sat in the classroom, suddenly felt a urge to go hug the girl.

,,But that may be because I'm not human." The last two words got down in tone, to almost a guilty whisper.

,,And what?"

Kate blurted it out without thinking – a reflex from the astral. She almost regretted it right there and then, be it not for the answer.

,,Well… I'm not from Earth. I'm from... I'm a alien."

Silence.

Still.

Nobody nothing.

,,That gives a whole new meaning to ,racism'," Kate stated.

Now all four bursted into laughter.

,,Do ya see ghosts?" Caroline then asked with a smile.

,,I see everything from the astral," the demon stated. ,,but that may be obvious since I'm at home there more than here."

,,Sometimes," Henrietta shrugged.

,,I don't talk to them," Bianca added, looking into her bag intently. ,,they scare me a bit…"

At that Kate laughed too.

,,If you're scared of ghosts, wait for the incubes!" she smirked on her. Bianca raised eyebrows.

,,What are those?" Caroline blinked a few times as well.

,,Oh… a breed of demons."

,,There are breeds? Wow, I didn't know that."

,,Of course yes. These are of the, uh, Lust side."

,,What do they do?"

She stayed quiet.

,,They're ones that come into the dreams of humans and cause… a special kind of dreams to feed on energy. Or they come to other species too, when they let them, but people are the best."

,,You mean wet dreams?" Henrietta asked, chuckling.

,,Yes."

,,So they could come to our classmates too?' Caroline's eyes widened. ,,Like the boys."

,,No," Kate chuckled. ,,incubes are only male and only feed on women. Their counterbart are succubes, which do the opposite."

,,God, that's complicated." Now they all laughed again.

,,And they come to you too?" Kate stayed quiet.

,,No, I… I'm not human."

,,Oh, good!" Caroline laughed and clapped twice. ,,For a while I thought I screwed up by telling one, haha! And what…? Oh, you don't have to tell, if you don't want to."

Kate shrugged. ,,Maybe later…"

,,You?" Caroline turned to Henrietta.

,,Oh, me? I'm not anything special," she hrugged it off modestly.

,,Come on, do tell!" The alien pleaded. Henrietta hung head and muttered out a barely understandable word, blushing slightly.

,,Night elf?" Caroline repeated it out loud cheerfully. ,,That's awesome! I've never met one before!"

One more was left out, and when she wanted to sneak out, the three other girls turned to her.

,,How about you, Bianca?" caroline called after her.

She looked on them with a bit of a frightened face, winking.

,,Whaat?"

,,Are you human?"

Kate expected a yes, or hesitation, but Bianca immediately blurted out a very clear and almost insulted ,No'.

,,And what are you?"

Now that'll be interesting, Kate waited for the answer with a wide lunatic grin, waggling tail.

,,I- um." She frowned and hesitated. ,,How do you say it in Slovak?"

,,What?" Henrietta blinked, surprised.

,,Yay, guessing game!" Caroline clapped.

,,It's a kind of … people sometimes mistake it with a pony or horse, but we have a horn, one… ah, got it!" she snapped fingers happily.

,,Unicorn?" Kate's chin dropped down. So that's why she seemed like a deer!

It also the explained the aversion to shaking hands.

Caroline bursted into hysterical laughter, almost choking, the other two simply stared.

,,I've never seen a unicorn like this before," Kate admitted when Bianca sat back down beside her. ,,Although I did think you looked deer- or horse like."

,,Yayyy, you figured out my – um, sacred form!" This time it was Bianca who clapped cheerfully. ,,Not many did."

I wonder why.

The four became know in the school as the official ,Club Weird' and some said ,Witches of Eastwick'. Again, it was no wonder why.
